Wilkerson Glass is a small manufacturer of pressed and hand blown art glass. Operated by Fred Wilkerson and his son.

There appears to be three marks found thus far: 1) W in a circle, 2) W with outward bent tails, and 3) capital F over capital W (for Fred Wilkerson).

This mark was found on light green Daisy and Button open salt or demitasse cup. It appears that some Daisy and Button salt molds were purchased by Fostoria Glass Society and
acquired by Wilkerson in 2009.

http://estatesalestore.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=218292Per Tom Felt: In my research, I came to the conclusion that the 'S' mark was first used in 1971 or 1972 when Smith started issuing limited edition plates. (The mark is actually 'SGC' with a very tiny G' nestled inside the top curve of the 'S' and 'C' inside the bottom curve -- usually so small as to be virtually invisible.)

It was in the 1980s when they started using the mark to replace the Imperial 'IG' mark in the molds they purchased from Imperial and later it seems to have been some sort of policy to use it in any molds from another source, such as the L. G. Wright molds.

They reissued the McKee Sunburst butter as early as 1958, but offered it during two main production periods: ca. 1970-1985 and 1999-closing. So I guess it makes sense under the policy that they had inaugurated in the 1980s of using the 'S' mark on 'outside' molds that they would have started using it on the reissued McKee ones. I wonder how many other Heritage pieces are so marked and I just never happened to see them?

in Dewitt, Michigan. They had their product made primarily by Imperial Glass (some by Viking Glass) and sold it through marketing their products through their stores and through Cambridge collector connections. The company sponsored reissues and reproduction glass made from original Heisey, Imperial, Cambridge and New Martinsville molds.
